GENERAL RE!\IARKS.-In the following studies, all notes or chords m11rked with an arrow, must be struck from the wrist, otherwl8e the attAck (altaqtte French ansotz German) will be clumsy stiff and hard. After the notes or chords so ma.rked :have been strurk, a strict legato must be preserved throughout a.slndicated. By legato Is meant the keeping down of each key during the full length or time-va.lue of the note, and until the following note is struck. It often occurs that the second of two chords which Immediately follow each other should be connected with the first almost legato. · To accomplish this, all the lingers of the first chord which are not used to strike the notes of the second chord, shonl(\ be held do1vn on the notes of the first chord, until the second chord Is struck. 'rhe fingers so held down form a sort of .pivot or f11lcrum for the other fingers, which can theu strike the following chord with freedom and elasticity. In order to assist the studeut to distinguish the notes which are to rorm the pivot and which must be played absolutely legato they have, In these studies bee.n connected by dotted lines with the following chord, Strlot attention to these general remarks, and to the notes accompanying each study will lay the foundation of correct and elegant piano playing. /
